A $100 item you are selling is $1000 FIRM. A $100 item that you are buying is $10 OBO.
Craig's List criteria for pictures.
If you are selling an item, fuzzy, out of focus, from very far away, pictures of a different item, and no picture at all are preferred. If you are buying an item the front, back, sides, inside, bottom, top, x-ray, satellite photos, photos of the previous owners, people that built, designed, did maintenance on, and a picture with the pope with the item will be necessary and mandatory.
I hope I cleared that up.

If for some reason a buyer shows up to look at an item, whatever money they have in their pocket, OR LESS, becomes the value of the item you are selling and you are bound by law to give them the item for the price they say is fair. ~ Little known fact of buying and selling on CL. ~

Grant,
Taking the tongue out of the cheek for a few seconds. There is a grading/ condition chart that is considered to be the standard. http://www.ismacs.net/condition.html
